Abstract :
The increasing altitude of the aircraft affects the pressure and
temperature around the aircraft lower, so that a refrigeration system that is eligible
for condition at sea level and maximum cruising height is required. Some cases
cause of the increase of temperature in the cabin. Therefore, analysis and the
calculation on the cooling load is required so the load of the cooling machine for
the aircraft with capacity of 180 passengers from inside the cabin in 2 different
conditions; Ground Idle and Maximum Cruise is indentified.
The objective of this research was to identify the air conditioning system
used in aircraft and calculate the cooling load for the aircraft with capacity of 180
passengers in two conditions; Ground Idle and Maximum Cruise. The cooling load
calculation method used CLTD (Cooling Load Temperature Difference) based on
book and table Air Conditioning Principles and System. The calculation was for
the room heat gains (heat from lights, man, the equipment, floor, wall, roof) and
grand total heat. The total calculations were compared to the existing planes and
then were analyzed. The total theoretical calculation result obtained that the
cooling load was 137.764,534 (Btu/hr) for the Ground Idle condition and
116.096,626 (Btu/hr) for the Maximum Cruise condition.
